Would you like to see the whole of Russia just in a couple of hours? Then you are welcome to visit a new exhibition called the Grand Model available in Saint-Petersburg.
The giant model of the Russian Federation includes the most interesting places located on the territory of 800 square meters. The model is still under construction and is open for viewers only on Sunday.
It is not that famous yet and is located far from the historical center of the city of Saint-Petersburg. But those, who have visited the place, wonder there for hours examining every small detail as the view is fascinating.
According to official sources, this is the largest country model in the world.

World Wildlife Wednesday; Naturally Peru
The Peaceful Sealion, You just want to Hug Them
One of our favorite things when traveling the world is experiencing the wildlife of the countries that we visit. There are some incredible places to view wildlife in their natural habitat and in sanctuaries. Unfortunately it is becoming more and more difficult to see wildlife in the actual wild, but there are some great places that have set up protected reserves for animals to live fee from the encroachment of urban development in their natural habitat.
This is the first of our Wildlife Wednesday series featuring some of our best experiences seeing wildlife in our travels.
Sealion; Isla Ballestas, Peru
When we visited Peru, I really had my heart set on Isla Ballestas. I had read that it was a smaller version of the Galapagos. Some people even call it the Poor Man’s Galapagos. I have always wanted to visit the Galapagos Islands but for now, Isla Ballestas was the closest I was going to get.
A Couple of Boobies in Love
Located 3 hours south of Lima, you can make a home base in Pisco and catch a boat from Paracas. You are not allowed to land on the islands so as not to disrupt the wildlife, however, our boat got a little too close to the marine life for my liking. And I felt terrible about the exhaust fumes that the birds and sealions have to endure everyday. I am sure that as time goes on though, Eco-friendly tours will take hold as more people complain. Also, I kept telling myself that this is an amazing conservation area of more than 700,000 acres. At least they are not in aquariums performing for audiences at Sea World.
It was my first time seeing penguins in the wild and I was extremely excited to see the cute little guys waddling along the rocks.

Hundreds of Sea Lions were the star attraction. They were just the cutes...

The fashion house Bravo of Belarus held another underwear show. This time the main motto was liberty. A woman in such underwear has the right to choose everything she wants. Who can argue?
